See the grainy snapshot of the December cover of Vogue Spain above? No, that's not a leak from our forums (though it was discovered by one of our eagle-eyed forum members). The photo originated on Vogue Spain's own Instagram a couple hours ago, at the time of writing. Whether the unfinished quality of the image was intentional or accidental, it's not totally clear to me why more and more publications are "leaking" their own covers, with crudely shot photos over social media.

Of course, maybe we're reading too much into a few bad pictures. But looking at the Instagram above, which shows Joan Smalls photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, it's not clear how Vogue Spain benefits from teasing such a blurry crop.
